I hired John as my Career Coach to assist and provide me guidance in my job search as I was relocating from LA to Seattle. He worked with me for nearly a full year to help me with reconstructing my rusty, outdated resume and CV; to build a game plan for how to best find my new job; and was instrumental in helping me get my non-existent LinkedIn profile off the ground and performing at an optimal level. John was tireless during the whole process of revamping of my resume. He works with you from the ground up to help you recognize your skills, create your own personal brand, and how to truly emphasize your professional strengths and experiences to the fullest. He answered every question I threw at him, explained every step of the process thoroughly and left no resume stones unturned! His nearly 20 years of experience as a Career Coach is showcased in his amazing perspective and insight for what you might expect and need to know in the job search, application and interview stages. He is a top-notch professional in his field and a consummate advocate for those in what seems like a never-ending job search! He is extremely knowledgeable about all of the facets of the job search process, building an effective resume and CV, and how to rise above the other LinkedIn profiles out there. He helped me to achieve the most professional resume that I have ever had in my entire professional career. If you need a Career Coach or Professional Development Strategist that will help you kick-start your job search, job transition, or a resume rebuild, look no further than John Davidsson. read more

Since I have been working for the government for the majority of my career, I never gave much emphasis on writing a "good" resume. When it came time for me to look for work outside government, I knew I needed professional help. I did the usual Google search and was fortunate to come across John. First off, let's get something straight. John is not cheap. He is not one of those companies who advertises to write your resume for $99 or $199. That is not what I was looking for and I strongly suggest all those who are serious about their careers to do the same. I am a strong believer in the adage, you get what you pay for. But while John is not cheap, neither is he expensive. It may seem that way to some, but look what you are getting. John is a full service provider. Resume, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, career counseling, and interview skills... the works. Before I updated my resume with John's help, I was getting no interviews from "non-government" employers. Now I am. Still don't have a new job yet, but that is a matter of time. I will certainly update this review, after I have secured a job. If I had to do this all over again, would I hire John? Absolutely. I strongly recommend you do. read more

I first started working with John in summer 2016 and his assistance in rebuilding (and not simply redoing) my resume has been a game changer. The most important aspect of his work is that works directly with his clients to understand why the changes he is suggesting are being made and what results you should expect from said changes. Futhermore, he laid the groundwork for me to add to the resume as I changed positions, without disripting its flow. Not only that, he demonstrated how I could also improve my Linked In profile to make it more attractive to recruiters and does six month check-ins since my resume was completed. He also has always been very responsive when I requested materials on certain topics. Moreover, I feel as if my resume gets a much better response than anytime before I called Olympic Resume. For example, during my last job search at a local hospital (I was looking to do an internal transfer), my resume was forwarded to nine different departments and I was called for three interviews. I ended up getting the job with highest job classification of the three with the best salary. I can't recommend John and Olympic Resume enough! read more

John at Olympic Resume is worth every penny! I used his services after years of being underemployed and frustrated with the "new" way of job searching (I'm old school - I used to print resumes on nice paper and mail them or drop them by in person!). John not only helped me to craft a stellar resume, he taught me how to make sure that it gets past the automated screening software and into an actual person's hands. He was also great in teaching me what a valuable tool LinkedIn can be. I learned how to bolster my network and use it to my advantage. John has excellent resources that he provides with each session - a job search tracking tool, a guideline for writing meaningful cover letters, a ranking system to help prioritize and narrow down goals and priorities for your next position, etc. etc. etc. John gives you all of the tools and resources that you need to be successful in your job search and beyond - it is up to you to put it to good use. I am happy to report that because of John's help I have found a new position that I really love! Thank you John!! read more

A wise man once said that he could only see as far as he did because he stood on the shoulders of giants. John at Olympic Résumé is a giant who will help you to stand tall. I can do a lot of wonderful things but I writing my own résumé isn't my strongest skill. John, on the other hand, is greatly skilled in the art of résumé writing. I appreciate all of the time that he spent with me in telephone conversations and in emails. He's smart, thorough and very patient. He knows his industry and when it comes to a job search is very wise. As I searched for a résumé writing service, I found many services operated via email. They would have you upload a résumé and they would fit it into a template that you could upload. This is far from how John operates! Everything is personal and customized so that it accurately tells your story. When I first met with John he said, "You don't really want a résumé. What your really want is a job." In your search for employment, John will ensure that you stand out -- so that you can get hired. read more

John has been a key partner in my job quest and continued professional development since late October, 2017 and I am grateful. I made a sound investment in my career path when I hired John. His extensive experience and expertise in hiring and coaching made a large impact on the success of my job search. Perhaps the most important lesson John taught me was to think about myself holistically rather than with regard to specific roles I've held and duties and tasks I've performed. That coaching gave me more confidence in my approach to seeking employment and tailoring my search to opportunities for which I am best suited. I heartily recommend John and his services. You will find him bright, kind, polite, professional and flexible. He stays current in his field and I believe he has his clients' best interests at heart. read more

I've worked with John on and off for over a year. During that time, he has given me excellent advice on job hunting, whether through building my LinkedIn profile, writing my resume, or tips for making an impression at interviews. As someone with years of experience in hiring managing roles, he knows what he's talking about. But John is not only incredibly helpful with career advice, but able to be emotionally supportive too. I really appreciated this, when experiencing the anxiety and frustrations of job searching. Then when I decided I actually wanted to leave employment to go travel, he was supportive of that and gave me travel resources. John is not just invested in getting you a job, but in your personal wellbeing too. I would highly recommend him. read more

I reached out to John in a moment of COMPLETE desperation when I was told that my resume was TOO LONG. As a long term government employee, it's just how we were taught. After several online meetings and review, I now have a resume that I love so much, I'd marry it (if I wasn't already married). John is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, talented and really a joy. I've gotten more interview opportunities since he and I have worked together and I'm truly excited about my potential. Also, his LinkedIn knowledge is invaluable and he really helps you set up a plan of "attack" when looking for job opportunities. Worth. Every. Penny. Thank you, John! read more

John is very knowledgeable and is amazing at helping you with your resume. His services are the best I've ever used.

Many times while I was speaking with him I was smiling because of how happy I was with where things were going and the help he had given me.

John's methodology is extremely sound and it gets to the principles behind what you need to say about who you are and what you can deliver to a potential employer. He starts there and I have been very impressed at each step with the depth of experience and confidence. In particular the initial steps that helped me identify a number of very different directions help me clarify and prioritize basic direction which a narrowly focused "resume writer" would not be able to do. I have been completely satisfied with the service I have received and can recommend John to others whole heartedly! read more

I am certainly glad to have located Olympic Resume in my search for a resume professional. I have tried and had bad experiences with other resume writers who claim to be professional. Interaction with these other individuals proved they were not professional and not only needlessly occupied my time but also some money which could have been better spent elsewhere. John from Olympic Resume epitomizes professionalism and his final product is definitely worth the money spent. I could not be happier. Thank you Olympic Resume for a quality product. read more

Prior to working with John, I had never received an interview for any job that I applied for. After going through a program with Olympic, I rapidly increased my professional network, aced three interviews and got two job offers.

He really went above and beyond what I paid for. It will not be the last time I work with him. read more
